unforgettable experience
The underwater world has surpassed everything seen so far. The crew on the boat was super friendly, helpful and took care of the well-being of the guests. An all-round successful trip. Come back on this boat, the number of guests is ideal, so you don't get in each other's way under water.

An outstanding experience, I'll definitely dive with Nautilus again.
Sea lions! Who knew they were so much fun under water :) Good viz and great diving all-round, covering an excellent range of sites (and more dives than advertised - 16 vs the 12). Sundowners and beers (from a very well-stocked bar) under the stars. All made extremely easy and enjoyable by the wonderful staff.

- The staff were all fantastic, friendly, extremely professional but also engendered a relaxed, enjoyable experience. The vessel is in good repair, well set up for diving and relaxing. And the trip is all made very easy and efficient by the shoreside support.

Fixing the boat saved our trip!
Mechanical issues after first dive almost forced the crew to cancel the trip. Ricky the engineer saved the day after working all night. Socorro is one of best places to dive, and all our crew were amazing!

Sea lions & whale sharks in the Sea of Cortez!
I just returned from an incredible week in the Sea of Cortez aboard the Nautilus Undersea. The diving was just incredible and definitive trip highlights were diving with the sea lions and snorkeling and swimming with the whale sharks. The boat crew were extremely friendly and worked nonstop and we had 3 amazing dive guides throughout the week. We learned quite a bit about the Sea of Cortez through various nightly presentations on board and also had fun swimming and kayaking during surface intervals. I can’t say enough about our chef as all the meals were fantastic and our hostess was so friendly and always smiling. What an incredible week!

Spectacular shark encounters
The almost 6m tall "Lucy" and another female of almost the same size, which were often very close to the cages. Sighting of a total of almost 30 different great white sharks. The information from the professional crew about the sharks and their distinguishing features was also great. This gives guests the opportunity to photograph a shark that has not yet been registered and to give it a name. The spectacular jumps of the sharks out of the water were also sensational.
- Recommended for
- A great experience to experience the great white sharks so closely, the warmth of the crew and the possibility of unlimited cage diving.

Awesome crew, amazing diving, and well run operation.
Dolphins, hammerheads, tiger shark, mantas, and the wonderfully friendly crew. The food was good. The top deck can get a little fumey while motoring, so I'd encourage the boat to raise the smokestack or otherwise get creative with the exhaust fumes so that its more comfortable to hang out while motoring.
- Recommended for
- The crew was absolutely wonderful, the diving and competence of the crew were excellent, and the boat operated like clockwork.
